that actually looks like a 10 Bolt. The 9" Rear Housing would look like this

Beyond the 2 years, I try to be reasonable, but truth be told and I think this would apply across the industry, if you have a problem, it usually happens sooner than later. And luckily we don't have many problems.

Complete bolt-in installation!

I think I might have to pull the trigger on the torque arm setup! I have a 12 bolt now that I need to add a posi unit to as well. What shocks would you recommend? Ride tech or QA1? I also have Detroit Speed frame connectors and a complete six speed Tremec manual swap from American Powertrain....will this torque arm setup work in conjunction with all of those products without any major modifications?

Ty, it seems like I am building my 71 very similar to what you have built. I was wondering if maybe I could get in touch with you and pick your brain a bit.

Default 12-bolt & Coilovers

12-bolt will work fine just tell BMR when you order the Torque Arm and it'll bolt right up! Another benefit of removing the leaf springs and going with BMR's torque arm is that I'm running a 295/40/18 out back with no minitubs!

Coilovers... my recommendation would be to really think about what you'll ACTUALLY be using the car for and then decide. I went with AFCOs and while they are not "the be$t of the be$t" but they've worked fine for me for 10 years.

I'd ask BMR what they recommend, and look at the vendors that support this site... you have plenty of options there.

PM me for my contact info... always happy to help a fellow Buckeye!

I recommend ViKing C207 Coilovers in the Back

Will this setup interfere with my DSE subframe connectors?
